Question

What happens when colourless stannous chloride solution is added to yellow ferric chloride solution? Explain on the basis of oxidation and reduction.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Correct option is

D

All of the above

The ferric chloride solution is yellow in colour whereas ferrous chloride solution is light green in colour.

H

2

S reduces Fe(III) ions to Fe(II) ions.

2Fe

3+

+S

2−

→2Fe

2+

+S

Hence, yellow solution turns into light green solution.This reduction can also be carried out by the addition of zinc or stannous chloride.
